FOSC Bathurst @ Easter...

Sultan · 27 Feb 2008, 08:38 (Ref:2139008)

Looks like there're going to be very healthy grids for the Easter meet at Bathurst, one of which will be an all Mazda field...

Can't wait!!!

Who's going?

CooperS79 · 27 Feb 2008, 11:26 (Ref:2139122)

Any entry lists Sultan?

Mr_Cool · 27 Feb 2008, 20:58 (Ref:2139599)

I got an invite to work the meeting but at this stage i can't justify the price of doing Bathurst twice or three times a year, if i had to pick one of the three it would of course be the V8s

RotorFan · 27 Feb 2008, 22:09 (Ref:2139653)

Do you have an entry list Sultan? Particularly interested in this all-Mazda field.

Sultan · 27 Feb 2008, 23:56 (Ref:2139747)

No entry lists yet, I'll post them when I get it.

I was told that the mazda field will have 40+ cars, the majority of which will be MX5's.

There's a particularly tasty '5' up here that's just been completed, & by all indications it should be quite a weapon. Unfortunately I'm not the one driving it!!

Having said that, the toy I'll be playing with should keep me on my toes anyway...

One of the novelties about this meeting will be the variety of grids - we won't always be running with the same group..
Can't wait!!!!

DAVID PATERSON · 28 Feb 2008, 02:54 (Ref:2139825)

I haven't seen an entry list yet either, but i do know that i am third reserve in Group N Division 2.

glenn_a · 28 Feb 2008, 03:57 (Ref:2139851)

Can't wait. I'll see you up there on the Saturday Sultan

Sultan · 28 Feb 2008, 09:54 (Ref:2139990)

Look forward to catching up David.

Are you driving or spectating glenn_a?

mtpanorama · 28 Feb 2008, 13:39 (Ref:2140099)

I am running in Improved production in an rx7. I am also in the mazda race

RotorFan · 28 Feb 2008, 22:31 (Ref:2140438)

Any other details? Do I need to buy a ticket? Will the whole track be open for spectating? How long will the races be?

And will this DTM car be turning up to do some laps?

Sultan · 29 Feb 2008, 13:28 (Ref:2140874)

I'm pretty sure the entire track will be open for spectating, but from what I understand the DTM laps are a seperate event held by Mercedes Bnz earlier in the week - not sure exactly when though.

Look forward to meeting you mtpanorama, my car no. will be #611, a silver mx5 turbo...

As long as we meet in the pits and not on the track during thmazda race

Sultan · 1 Mar 2008, 09:32 (Ref:2141398)

I'll keep an eye out in my mirrors....

Have you got a pit bay? We'll be in 23..

Depends on how many people get a rush of blood, go like a bull at a gate and how long it will take to tidy up after their indiscretions

good answer Mick.

I believe the organisers intend to provide up to 5 races each, if we behave ourselves.

I think i'm in Garage 32.

That will not be me, I intend to be in all of my 5 races (barring mechanical problems, which i wont have)

I am in the paddock somewhere with an enclosed trailer and tent, not sure exactly where yet.

I am off to Oran Park on friday to run the engine and driver in

Sultan · 3 Mar 2008, 07:18 (Ref:2142993)

Yeah, we're making sure all everything is up & running this weekend at QR..

Yeah...only slightly tongue in cheek...I hope the Drivers Briefings are stern affairs

I will try and catch up with you and Uncle Mike over the course of the weekend

alfacors · 4 Mar 2008, 09:46 (Ref:2143971)

Will be up there shooting the event from Friday morning. My old man will be driving in Marque and Production Sports 2 for 4 races and 1 IPRA race.

If anybody has any general information about the evnt it would be much appreciated. Things such as an event timetable, entry lists, spectator information, ticket prices, etc. There has been no mention of it at all in Bathurst, and I can't find anything of interest on the FoSC website.
Thanks for your help.

Good Luck! I'm a competitor and i don't have a timetable or an entry list, two weeks out from the event. You're right about the website, it hasn't been updated for over a month.
